Glad to see Dan Martin out of any GC chances, this way he wont be hunted down if he goes stage hunting.  Tomorrow another sprint stage for Sam so here's hoping.
Riding with a broken bone in his back. Has said he'll target stage wins and isn't interested in GC but it'll be interesting to see if he's fit to compete for any wins.

Thought he might have a go yesterday but he went backwards quickly on final climb. Maybe later on in race he might get away in a break with a big lead. Attacking out of the group of favourites looks to be an impossibility at the moment. Van Aart has some engine on him. Today looks to be for the sprinters maybe Bennett in green later on. Some lumps today so maybe they can shake Ewan or at least take the edge off him.

Well done Sam B...

van Aert with the win, he is one powerful rider. Bennett third, should be him in green I think? He looks to be in great form.

Sam Bennett looks like he'll lose the Green jersey today. Bora distanced most of the sprinters with a huge unexpected push on a hill early on. Sagan now in virtual Green after the intermediate sprint and it looks like he'll get the jersey at the end of the day.

When I am cycling my right leg does most of the work. How could I get the left leg to do more, or it's equal share?

Assuming you're clipped in a bike fit would ikely sort it. If riding flat pedals I wouldn't be sure, Google/ youtube for bike set up / body position tips.

Pancake flat today. Time for Sam to step up to the plate.

Got a lend of a turbo trainer for some indoor use, any recommendations for good plans to build up leg speed/strength or do I invest in a zwift sub and follow the plans on there?

The speeds are crazy. He averaged 58km/h for the last 1km today and hit a top speed of 65km/h just before the finish line. I'm happy when i average 25 or 26. To get to 65km on the flat must take serious leg power

I follow the GCN turbo videos on YouTube. Great workouts.
